Chapter 201 – Paulette Larson – 2
Power beyond common sense.
That’s magic
Making a simple ordinary person get out of the bounds of what a person can do.
That’s why in ancient times, those who had magical powers were believed to be gods.
And that magic power goes beyond the limits and has it’s own magic power.
As the moon sleeps and the sun opens its eyes.
The sun has risen over the Knights of Dawn.
The power of the sun.
Its characteristic is the sun.
Tremendous destructive power. Hot heat. Divinity that purifies filth. Strong energy.
The only star that exists in this world around this solar system.
Source of all energy.
Even if there are stars somewhere in this galaxy, and there are other galaxies beyond the galaxy, and even if there is a huge universe surrounding that galaxy, it is a very distant story for most people living on this earth.
The center of this world is the sun.
Because of the sun, there is night and day on this continent, four seasons, the weather changes, life is born, and countless lives, including animals and living things, obtain energy to survive.
That is the sun, and the Dawn Knights who gain that power are invincible.
Wow!
One group becomes a beam of light and collides with the wall. At the same time, the black shield created on the wall blocked the light, and at the same time, the collision of energy became a huge roar and began to spread throughout the city including the wall.
At the news of the war, commoners who took refuge in their homes wrapped their arms around each other and covered their ears.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Oh God! Please!”
“Hey Larson! Sage of the Oak Tree, please!”
Aaaaagh!
The Knights of Dawn, which have become a single siege weapon, turn around and prepare for an assault.
Looking at them, Leoric Franz looked down at the city, floating high in the sky.
‘It’s a black shield…’
It is harder to defend than to attack.
It doesn’t mean that fighting skills are advantageous or disadvantageous, but as a simple fact, there is no choice but to make a difference in the magic power required for defense.
Of course, Leoric did not think that he would break through the defenses of the castle wall in one shot. In fact, I could tell by looking at Chloe’s expression after the first blow was successful.
Chloe, who casually turned the knights around, immediately stepped back for the next attack.
Lightning-like charge and flawless retreat.
Watching her retreat while paying attention to the defense in preparation for a counterattack coming from the castle wall, it was clear that Chloe had learned well from Hans, the leader of Franz’s Golden Lion Knights.
‘But what was lacking in the previous attack wasn’t the power…’
Leoric narrowed his eyes and looked at the city walls.
The black magic that composes the defense of the castle wall. I thought it was magic used by those who turned into monsters, but to the extent that it was used in the defense system of the castle wall.
Anyway, the power to nullify that mana. That’s the problem. The attack just a moment ago was not properly hit because of that black magic power.
It wasn’t completely nullified.
But it doesn’t even work properly.
Chloe also noticed that fact, but the role of the knights was only one.
A sword and shield that replaces nobles.
Chloe led the knights and tried to prepare for an attack while turning.
Wheein!
While watching it, the wind blew for a moment and at the same time William Borang appeared next to Leoric.
“Are you here?”
“Hoo. The movement is quite good. Did you learn properly from the Grandpa of the Golden Lion Knights? It’s quite good at a young age, I’m here.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Considering the behavior of the Knights, who basically act as one body, the Cloud Knights of Boring are quite unusual. It is a type that intercepts when a team of three becomes one and scatters in the sky.
But that doesn’t mean they’re completely self-reliant. Like modern air forces, they have their own squadrons.
Looking at William who was approaching next to him, he turned his gaze and saw that the Cloud Knights were moving.
It has been seen flying around the city from outside the walls, attacking, or moving while avoiding incoming attacks.
“Ah, that damn shield. Maybe it doesn’t go well with magical attacks? Purple guy. Inventing the damn thing and messing around.”
“That is the development of science and technology.”
Not all developments are in favor of one side.
There is also the Luddite movement, which was raised by workers due to the weaving machine made by the development of science.
Even if an invention is good for most people, there are people everywhere who are damaged by it.
This time, it was just that it became a magical power holder.
“There is no doubt that it is a good technique if used well. Well, in order to get it in your hands, you will have to finish this war now.”
When it comes to defense by nullifying mana, it is a truly perfect technique.
‘What should I do with that uncomfortable feeling?’
Leoric, holding back his eyebrows from furrowing at the ominous sign that he could still feel all over the castle wall, changed his thinking for now.
The important thing right now is to win the war. You have to break through that wall.
“How was it?”
“Um, that’s too much. There are no gaps. No matter how baronic they are, they are the ones who have ruled here as a noble family. Are you blocking it pretty tight?”
“Hmm.”
It’s good to push with force, but you can also be attacked by aiming for that gap. So, originally, the fight between the nobility and the nobility begins with arranging each other’s numbers.
‘It’s a bit inferior to the same baron class, but there is also Triana, and if you can do it, you can do it…’
Guys.
Exactly, purple is the problem.
They must be in that city too. Starting with that defense system, and terrorism as well.
It is clear that he will do something.
Therefore.
“Well? Hey, can you?”
William stared blankly at Leoric for a moment, then smiled.
“Well, do whatever you want.”
Because you are responsible for this war.
Having said that, William signaled with his finger.
The moment the silent wave of magical energy was scattered nearby, the Cloud Knights in flight dispersed.
At the same time, Chloe, the leader of the Knights of Dawn running on the ground, raised her gaze.
The wavelength of the light shining under the sky changed.
Leoric’s figure appeared in Chloe’s gaze.
‘He’s always, always… !’
Complex emotions welled up in Chloe’s eyes.
She wants them to believe in them and wait for them, but she also knew that the current situation was unavoidable.
With a sense of resentment, Chloe immediately changed direction.
“All Mace!”
Lastly, the knights who retreated in an instant escaped.
“I’m sorry to the commoners…”
Light began to flow from Leoric’s eyes.
“I must die.”
* * *
“That madman… !”
Paulette Larson, who was watching the situation from the inner room, screamed.
“Are you going to kill them all?”
Of course, he also had no intention of blaming it for being an aristocrat’s duty.
He wasn’t the type to pursue that either. Use whatever you use.
The man who was cruel and full of lust was Paulette Larson.
However, he also cares about things to be concerned about in terms of common sense, including the eyes of the people around him. He had no intention of committing such a terror attack in Leighton City unless he was cornered as he is now.
“Damn it!”
Franz’s respect for honor is famous in the South.
Since he inherited such a bloodline, I expected that his ankles would inevitably be caught even after such a long time… !
“What is born is a sage who sleeps in the lineage!”
Paulette Larsen spread her hands.
A blade of magic that bloomed blue tore his palm.
Slurp!
Drops of blood flowed from his palms and fell onto the soil.
“Sage of the Oak Tree! I command the protection of the earth!”
Leaves sprout from the place where blood drops fell.
Trees grow with nourishment from the dormant magical power in Paulette Larson’s lineage.
Woojik, Kwajik!
The shape of a huge green tree that appeared from where the earth was torn. The moment when the leaves dyed green became huge enough to cover the city.
—————————————!
The sun has gone down.
* * *
Strike of the sun.
In the aftermath, among the particles of light flying in the air, Leoric looked at the city.
“I blocked you.”
A huge tree dyed blue appeared before my eyes.
“Is that the sage of the oak tree?”
Magical power directly connected to the earth.
A method of absorbing the mana flowing through the earth and producing even greater output.
“It’s good that the land around here is alive.”
“They must have given a fair amount of money to the Duke of Earthlane, or injected magic into the land themselves.”
The land where magic was sucked turns into a land of death.
There is no particularly dead land for a territory ruled by a family with such a lineage.
‘But.’
There are only a handful of battles taking place in this city, which can be said to be the origin, even in its long history.
And I found out one more.
“A powder that attracts monsters. It’s clear that the Larsen family was involved in that invention.”
This strange flow of magical power. Where did you see it…
This is definitely decided.
Paulette Larson.
There must be a lot of circumstances in the Larsen family.
But what does it matter.
Leoric clenched his fists.
An orb of light condensing in the air. There, the particles of light flying around began to gradually gather.
The branches of the giant tree that appeared in the city began to sway as if it felt the flow of magic power.
